Gilbert MainesFrank: if I understand this correctly, your arguement is based on the assumption that the player's image and name was reproduced (printed) to generate the cards which you have. And that this assessment is based on the similarity of the fonts between the original (which you have never seen) and your cards.
It seems that based on the cited information, the images could have been reproduced with the text added later. If so, this approach would explain the absence of border dots.
Frank: it is not my intent to refute anything here. I simply find myself drawn into an investigation of the facts, in part because no one else was biting on your inquiry.
